Max Arellano (A.K.A. Mystic I) is a hip-hop artist out of Denver, CO. Not only is he a fantastic rapper, but Mystic I also provides high-quality videography for himself and other artists around Denver. We had the opportunity to talk with him about his growing career as a musical artist and a videographer. How did you get started in the music scene and in the photo/video scene? Mystic I tells us, “I remember always singing along to songs on the radio and beatboxing random rhythms as a kid. In high school my homie started recording music and I thought that was super cool. So, with his help I started making my own music with my iPod. The music was not good at all, but I fell in love with making something out of nothing. I got good enough to headline some shows early in my career and people encouraged me to make more music.” Shortly after beginning his musical career, Arellano realized that he would need photo and video work done to compliment his sound. “I was actually taking my own photos and filming my own videos when I first started. I didn’t have enough money to afford a photography/videography and I don’t remember even considering hiring on in the first place. I knew what I wanted and I wanted to be the one to make my content.” Mystic I has been a self-made, hands-on artist since the beginning. We asked, “Do you prefer performance or production?” Arellano’s response was that he likes both. “I like performing because that’s how I started, but I also like production because I like all the technical aspects of the behind-the-scenes process,” he said. Let’s Dig into Some Details “What makes a good song to you?” We asked. Mystic’s process is that he comes into sessions already knowing what he wants. “It’s hard to change my mind when it comes to that. I know I made a good song right after I record the hook,” he said. While he does not produce his own beats, Mystic I works with many producers such as Samuri, J. Dot, and Lunar Horizon to create a unique sound in each track. While beats are important to stand out, Mystic I believes his vocals set him apart from other artists in the scene. “I do some weird things on the mic, but it adds different elements to the song that makes it unique,” he said. We decided to dig even deeper. “They can’t all be bangers–how do you keep going?” Arellano started out by saying that we was unsure. “I have a lot of songs I started and never finished because I don’t like them. I create my own inspirations out of feelings I have and I want to capture that feeling in the music. I keep going because art is therapy to me. I really don’t care if people listen or not, I do it for me.” This really stood out because one can tell that Mystic I is in it for the passion of creating music, not for the fame. Mystic I has said it can take him 30 minutes to a couple of months to finish a track. Typically, he said, if everything is on track it can be completed in a few hours. Last, we asked him what his favorite track is. He said, “Probably this song I did a couple years ago with Samuri called OFF-WHITE. Samuri made the beat in like a second and I got it sent back to him in like 20 mins. It did super well and was one of those songs that I knew was going to be a banger when I first heard the beat. I like when the process is fluid like that.” Tell us more about your videography “My homie/colleague David DiGioia really got me in the Denver scene and taught me a lot about photography. Big ups to him for that because it’s one of my favorite things to do now.” Arellano said. If anyone has seen some of his work, he or she can tell that, like music, Mystic I finds a lot of passion in his photo and video work. Currently, he is finding a lot of satisfaction in film cameras. He recently purchased a quadroscopic 3D camera: The Nishika N8000, “for those retro 3D looks,” he said. “Also, I use my drone more than I should. I just love the way my drone footage looks after post.” With drone footage becoming more and more useful and accessible, look for more amazing shots from Mystic I. He is inspired by video director and editor Lonewolf (Zac Matias) who has worked on projects with Plu20 Nash, Warhol, and Yung Pinch to name a few. What is very unique about Mystic’s music videos is that he shoots, edits, and directs them himself. As previously mentioned, Mystic I prefers to cut out the middleman and work on his own projects. “I do everything. I even make the animations for promoting my songs. I have some help from the homies, but I am mostly a one-man team when it comes to creating visuals for my music.” he said. He uses custom LUTs, which are custom-made presets for videos, that give him the edgy, cinematic looks in all of his videos. Looking to the Future Finally, we asked what Mystic I has planed for 2021. He is working on many different projects. “I’m working on three different tapes with different producers at the moment. I’m also starting to plan my own album for later this year,” he said. Mystic is working with many different artists to create video content both for himself and their own videos. It was amazing to sit down with Max and learn all about his past and present. He is amazing behind the mic and behind the camera. Click the links below to follow along with Mystic I and stay up to date on all of his projects.

The Museum of Cosmonautics presents an exhibition of an Irish photographer Andrew McConnell, a two-time winner of the World Press Photo Award. This is the first ehibition of Andrew McConell’s work in Russia From February 28 to March 31, the exhibition of the famous Irish photographer Andrew McConnell will be held at the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics. The “Re-entry” project is based on the photos taken by Andrew in Kazakhstan during the landing and meeting of the crew of the International Space Station. In these photos, Andrew tells the story of the life of the descendants of nomadic peoples living on Kazakh soil for centuries and the daily rocket launches coming together in the highly unlikely match. The Kazakhs, who do not leave their lands, get “fragments” of space activity, which are included in their usual everyday life.

The first season of 13 Reasons Why was driven by Hannah's cassette tapes, a sort of audio diary she left behind to chronicle the events leading up to her suicide. But while her side of the story had ended by the time the show reached its finale, the rest of the school's hadn't, and Season 2 expands to probe the perspectives viewers had yet to see. It also introduces a new mystery. As Hannah's parents press forward with their case against Liberty High, an unknown sender begins leaving polaroids for Clay, eventually leading him to another dark secret hiding within the halls of Liberty. Behind the baseball field is a hideout dubbed the "Clubhouse" where Bryce and other skeevy players have apparently been taking girls to get them drunk and assault them, showing that Hannah and Jessica were just two in a long line of Bryce's victims. The photos launch Clay on a crusade to expose Bryce and take him down in court, but the identity of the sender remains a secret for the bulk of the season. So for all of those too eager to know to get through its 13 episodes, who's behind the polaroids? RELATED: A GUIDE TO ALL THE NEW CHARACTERS ON ‘13 REASONS WHY’ SEASON 2 In Episode 10, "Smile Bitches," Clay and Justin finally break into the clubhouse in search of more proof, only to be interrupted by Zach. He warns them that the more they dig, the more retaliation they'll face: Bryce and his minions will stop at nothing to keep them silent. Clay insists he's not afraid, and Zach says, "good," then leads them to the box with the rest of the photos, revealing himself as the sender. When Clay asks, incredulous, why he didn't just come talk to him, Zach retorts, "Because I'm a f--king coward, and you're not," then storms out. So, essentially, Zach didn't have the courage to say something about the clubhouse, but thought Clay did — and he was right. Backed by Justin and Jessica, Clay tries to get the photos evaluated in court, and it works, partially: Someone steals the pictures before he's able to submit them as evidence, but the situation helps give Jessica the strength to take Bryce to trial. He only winds up with probation, but it's enough to make him lose his scholarships, transfer schools, and, ostensibly, get a mark on his legal records. It's a small victory, but more importantly, one that allows Jessica to begin to heal.

Probability is a way to quantify uncertainty. When we flip a fair coin, we say that there is a 50 percent chance (probability = 0.5) of it coming up tails. This means that if we flip INFINITELY many fair coins, half of them will come up tails. Similarly, when we roll a six-sided die, we say there is a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a five. What if we flip a coin in one hand and roll a die in the other at the same time. What is the probability that the coin comes up tails AND the die comes up as a five? Is there a way to quantify the probability that these two different events BOTH occur? In this lesson, we will walk through different rules of probability that help us quantify the probability of multiple random events. Instructions Icon Instructions To the right, you should see a virtual coin and die. Click the button to “Flip Coin and Roll Die” simultaneously. Repeat this a few times to get an intuition for the probability that both the coin comes up tails and the die comes up as a five. Do you have an estimate of this probability?

Human family protects the young ones, thus illustrating the fact that the species comes into existence for more than procreation. Society developing the weaker members is an extension of the role of the family. School offers organised education. Family and society precede and succeed the school in offering institutionalised cultural education and education that is not yet fully organised. Society creates the individual and submits to his leading it. The final aim of the individual is to create a society where every individual is fully evolved. Family trains by social authority, school by the authority of knowledge, society by its subconscious wisdom. In his growth the individual moves from physically inherited habits to opinion and attitude and finally by his own motive.

Since completing my Masters degree in Social Work from Syracuse University in 1987, I have worked with thousands of individuals and families as they have moved towards peace and balance in their lives. I often tell people that therapy gives you a chance to look down on the events of your life "from the Goodyear Blimp." From this aerial perspective you can see where you are, how you got there and where you might like to go. Therapy isn't about finding out what is wrong with you as much as it is finding out what is right with you. I offer people in the midst of addiction, grief, mental illness and situational adjustments an opportunity to identify and communicate to themselves and others the truth of their emotional selves. My life work is dedicated to nurturing the worth, wholeness and creative power that resides in each unique individual and family system. MENU OF SERVICES 1) Growth from Grief and Loss 2) Chemical Abuse and Addiction Issues 3) Emotional Stress Management 4) Transitioning Through Separation or Divorce 5) Transforming the Heartache and Shame of Rejection 6) Relapse Prevention 7) The Artist's Journey 8) The Athlete's Journey 9) Family and Individual Stress Management 10) Individual and Family Esteem Building 11) Co-Dependency Recovery 12) Men in Crisis 13) Families in Crisis 14) Recovering Adult Children of Alcoholics 15) Couples Counseling 1) GROWTH FROM GRIEF AND LOSS There are many times in life when we are faced with loss or a death and it usually isn't planned or welcome. Healing comes with a time and place to share one's story, face the truth of the past, and improvise a new way of life that can lead to acceptance, peace and new growth. 2) CHEMICAL ABUSE AND ADDICTION ISSUES Drugs, alcohol, video gaming, gambling and nicotine use are common problems in today's world. I have been working in this area for 25 years and I offer high quality individualized therapy for families, teens, and adults. If you are looking for a place to start, or if you have completed a treatment program and are interested in relapse prevention, let's talk. 3) EMOTIONAL STRESS MANAGEMENT Anyone in need of “anger management” is actually in need of “emotional management” and this menu item can really help! Using the Emotional Map created by psychiatrist David Berenson, individuals and entire family systems can reap the benefits of learning to deal with the key emotional elements of anger, pain, fear shame and powerlessness. If we do not find healthy ways to deal with our emotions, our emotions will find unhealthy ways to deal with us. A great tool to use in any emotional situation. 4) TRANSITIONING THROUGH SEPARATION AND DIVORCE Making the transition from grieving the loss of one system to beginning the construction of another is filled with emotional adjustments and stress for everyone involved. Communication skill building, structural changes, rules, roles and boundaries are just some of the areas that need to be examined and talked about. 5) TRANSFORMING THE HEARTACHE AND SHAME OF REJECTION One of the most difficult life experiences to overcome is the sharp sting of being dismissed, devalued and disposed of by someone who was a source of love and attachment. It is difficult to transform the shame of this event into a life enhancing experience of self esteem and power, but it can be done! 6) RELAPSE PREVENTION For this issue I use a probability model of relapse prevention. Becoming aware of, and having the resolve to avoid the people, place and things that raise the risk of going back to the addictive relationship is the first step to making healthy "yes' or "no" decisions on the field of play. Knowing that risks occur in the environment, biologically and emotionally, each person has to create their own unique program to walk the journey of sobriety. 7) THE ARTIST'S JOURNEY As a musician, songwriter, recording artist and instrument builder I know how the arts can enhance self worth and healthy expression. For the artist who wants to develop a deeper awareness of their emotional experience as a means to deepen their work, I invite you to contact me for a consultation over the phone or in person. 8) THE ATHLETE'S JOURNEY Over the years I have had counseling experience with some gifted athletes and have enjoyed working with them as they deal with the emotional aspects of competition, training, and the emotional work or recovering from injury. As an avid athlete with success as an ice hockey player on the junior level and as a speed skater on the senior level, I have developed a toolbox of cognitive filters to enhance perspective of the athlete that will give them the opportunity to experience true success and satisfaction in their chosen sport. 9) FAMILY AND INDIVIDUAL STRESS MANAGEMENT Everyone in the family, from the kids to the parents needs to find healthy ways to manage the stress that we face and create in our busy modern lives. Examining this process as a family unit, developing tools to reduce stress while enhancing support can be fun and rewarding. I have enjoyed teaching stress managemnet class at MCC for a number of years, and we all need to have a program for this issue. 10) ESTEEM BUILDING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL OR THE FAMILY SYSTEM Self esteem is a creative dance between what we do and what we believe. Increasing the awareness of how these two forces comes together to produce feelings of worth and wholeness instead of feeling shameful and fragmented is the foundation of my work as a therapist. For most of us, our central issue is that we are unable to see what is right with us because we are spending all of our time and energy trying to find out what is wrong with us, others, and the world. If it's your time to make a shift into the positive and out of the gravity of negative people, behaviors and beliefs, give me a call. 11) CO-DEPENDENCY RECOVERY Codependency is the process of losing your “self” in a relationship with someone else. Recovery from this process involves finding where you and your boundaries end and where someone else's boundaries begin. Taking 100% responsibility for your life and finding true power is the remedy for a relationship system that is based on trying to change and control others, or expecting them to change and control you.  12) MEN IN CRISIS Men are taught by society and their family to be strong, fearless, and stoic. Unfortunately, there are times in life when a man finds out that if the only tool he has in his toolbox is a hammer, he will treat everything before him as if it were a nail. The crisis of death or serious illness will oftentimes push a man to the edge of his limits. This process can result in him discovering that his real identity is more than who he thinks he is. Managing a family crisis is often a time for men to discover new and healthy ways to deal with their emotional lives and the emotions of others. 13) FAMILIES IN CRISIS There are times in life when individuals and families go through a loss or crisis and it usually isn’t planned or welcome. Serious illness, or a sudden change in life as we know it for whatever reason can push us to the limit. Learning how not to stuff emotions or try to make them disappear through an addictive relationship with anything is one of the keys to getting through these tough times. It demands that we find something to center us as we work to find peace and balance.  14) ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS IN RECOVERY As educator Ernie Larson used to say, "What you live with you learn, what you learn you practice, what you practice you become and what you become has consequences." Many people are effected by the impact of growing up in an family where someone in the family was an active alcoholic. Usually there is an experience of "over-functioning" for the "under-functioning" addict, and these patterns of family balance can last a lifetime. Repressed emotions, power and control issues, boundary setting and a host of other issues can effect the adult child of an alcoholic and the health of any relationships that they are engaged in. Perhaps it is time to examine your patterns of self-defeating behavior and become aware of new ways of thinking and behaving. 15) COUPLES COUNSELING Couples are always dealing with a variety of issues that can benefit from healthy communication skills, and learning to deal with the emotions that influence their thinking and behavior. (I do not get involved in legal battles or custody cases, that's what the court system is for.) If you want to enhance your relationship, discover some new possibilities or, if you are experiencing a conflict or problem that isn't resolving itself, feel free to contact me. "Many people think that the point of life is to solve their problems and be happy. But happiness is usually a fleeting sensation, and you never get rid of problems. Your purpose in life may be to become more of who you are, (less of who you thought you were), and more engaged with the people and the life around you, to really live your life. That may sound obvious, yet many people spend their time avoiding life. They are afraid to let it flow through them, and so their vitality gets channeled into ambitions, addictions and preoccupations that don't give them anything worth having." -Thomas Moore, Dark Nights of the Soul One of the hardest things for many of us to do is to call or contact someone to ask for some assistance with matters that are generally felt to be private, personal and potentially shameful or embarrassing. If you are considering getting some help, I invite you to take the plunge and make the call. You can go back to isolation and silence at any time. Perhaps it is time to sit down in a safe environment and lay down the cards in front of yourself and someone else, taking an honest look at what is before you. Only then can you decide how you need to play your hand so that you can really live your life and not spend your time avoiding it.

The Tuscaloosa Police Department will begin issuing citations instead of making arrests for misdemeanor drug offenses after a city council vote Tuesday night. The resolution passed was innocuous, adding just six words to the Code of Tuscaloosa, allowing the city to punish misdemeanor offenses "as prescribed by Alabama Code 11-45-9." This simple addition, though, will mean big changes in community policing. Get our free mobile app In March of this year, the city council's public safety committee heard a presentation from Tuscaloosa Police Chief Brent Blankley, who asked the full council to consider allowing his officers to issue citations for second-degree possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and for minor in possession of alcohol charges. The state code above now allows cities to exercise that discretion. The council voted unanimously to adopt that recommendation Tuesday night. This should not be interpreted to mean that any of the above is now legal in Tuscaloosa -- all those misdemeanors are still criminal acts and could ultimately result in serious consequences if a suspect is convicted after a citation is issued. This simply means that instead of arresting suspects accused of the above crimes, officers can write a citation and allow them to leave the scene without ever being jailed. And ultimately, TPD spokeswoman Stephanie Taylor said, that decision falls to the officer on scene -- arrests can still be made for the listed offenses if the officer deems it necessary. "We're very happy the council agreed to this," TPD spokeswoman Stephanie Taylor said. "It takes officers at least two hours to arrest someone, take them to jail and finish the related paperwork. There's really no reason to take someone to jail - forcing them to pay a bond to get out or just stay there if they can't afford it - for a little bit of weed. If someone is cooperative, we can just write the ticket and everyone can go on their way." Taylor said any illegal drugs will still be seized when discovered by police officers in the city. "Of course, we'll have to take it as evidence because it's still illegal. And the person will still have to show up in court and pay the associated fines," she said. "It's not quite right to say this 'decriminalizes' marijuana possession because the penalties haven't changed. A better description would be 'de-prioritizing' it. We're hoping this will cut down on the number of people who attempt to elude traffic stops. If someone knows they're just going to get a ticket instead of a trip to jail, they may less likely to flee." The police department is also urging local and state leaders to consider increasing the severity of charges filed against people who do flee from traffic stops, creating major risks for themselves, police officers and unaffiliated drivers on the road.

The production of collagen, a protein that gives your skin structure, slows with age. The deep fat layer under the skin begins to slide down the face as well. Under-eye microneedling increases collagen and restores volume to the area. Microneedling under the eyes leverages the natural wound-healing process. The result is healthy skin cell growth and increased collagen and elastin production. This process makes the skin plump and firm, diminishes the signs of aging, and minimizes the overall appearance of dark circles. Whether specifically targeting dark circles or another skin concern such as wrinkles, microneedling under the eyes attacks the cause of the issue, which is collagen loss. Following microneedling, the skin's healthy glow returns. The skin around the eyes is restored to a more youthful condition as collagen and elastin levels increase. An under-eye microneedling session takes less than 30 minutes and is considered painless. Microneedling is a proven, safe, and effective anti-aging treatment. In addition to proper training to perform this procedure, using the right device leads to success when microneedling under the eyes. A device with smooth and consistent operation ensures that it is under the provider's control at all times and there are no jerking motions during the procedure. Additionally, a depth of 0.25 mm is indicated for microneedling the thin skin around the eyes. A precisely-engineered device like the Rejuvapen NXT® is ideal for this application. Rejuvapen NXT® is even FDA Cleared for treating periorbital facial wrinkles.

There is something about Mario Kart music that dials the fun-level up on anything. Case in point, dudes using remote control cars, balloons and chopsticks to play a real-life version of the Mario Kart battle mode. It’s a pretty simple premise but the music pushes it over the edge and, if the critics are to be believed, may be a marginally better experience than playing the actual video game. Thanks to Youtube user amieeeGO, we get to see how this goes down in the most overly bro, super eager way possible. Check out the video above and make sure you check the batteries in that dusty RC car in your cupboard.

Oct. 4, 2008 – COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — After hiking among red rock formations, our daughter and I went to a grocery store and bought vegetables for stir fry dinner — firm tofu, celery, carrots, red bell pepper, snow peas, broccoli florets, yellow onion, and garlic. Upon return to her shared apartment we prepared it the way our household has been doing since before she was born. At 6 p.m. we tuned the kitchen radio to Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion and made dessert. Listening to the program on Saturday afternoon, while working in the kitchen, had been a thing since the early 1980s. It was comforting regardless of what happened each week. On June 13, 1987 I turned on a tape recorder to capture the final episode of A Prairie Home Companion — supposedly. Our daughter was two years old and wanted to spend time with me. Once the recorder was set, she and I went walking around our neighborhood in Cedar Rapids. When we returned the program had run over its allotted time and the tape ran out. I caught a re-broadcast on Sunday and re-recorded it. As we now know, Keillor didn’t retire. He came back and lasted the second time until 2016. He gave our Saturdays a predictable, calming feeling. We took ten Colorado peaches from the ice box, peeled and sliced them in the only large bowl available. There was no granulated sugar in the pantry so we macerated them in brown sugar, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. We arranged them in a glass pie dish and dotted them with butter. Next we cleaned out the bowl and mixed dry ingredients: flour, more brown sugar, salt, butter, rolled oats and a dash of water. I built the top high, knowing it would cook down. During a yearlong internship in Florida, I bought her toaster oven which I now set to convection at 350 degrees. It doesn’t take long for a toaster oven to preheat. I put the shelf on the bottom rack, set the timer for 25 minutes, and monitored the peach crisp through the glass as it cooked. She was sewing at the kitchen table, the radio was playing, and I was cleaning up while the crisp baked. We hoped dessert would satisfy, yet whatever its sweetness, it was unmatched by the scene: a father and daughter re-enacting the lives of our grandmothers on a fall Colorado night.

As we “go to press” (publish our weekly words of Torah), a de facto ceasefire has taken hold in Gaza. We have not heard that Israel officially accepts this “truce,” that was literally forced upon it by the “OK duo” of Obama and Kerry, but it is nevertheless in force. We hope that Israel manages to destroy all the tunnels that Hamas burrowed under Israeli territory in order to kill and terrorize the Israeli population. In the meantime, we turn our attention to other matters – today is Rosh Hodesh Av, the first day of the Jewish month of Av. On this day, Aharon the high priest died, and the timing is no coincidence. Aharon embodied the concept of Ahavat Yisrael – love of a fellow Jew, regardless of his status, abilities or views. Love of our fellow, and especially of our Jewish brothers and sisters, is a very important component of bringing the ultimate redemption of all of mankind. The Temple was destroyed precisely because of lack of love, and it will be rebuilt as the result of “free love” among Jew, and among all peoples. For the next nine days or so, it is a very serious time of introspection and minimizing of ourselves and our egos. Let it be for the good and result in good news for all of us…for something on the weekly Torah portion, go to To delve more deeply into the subject of prayer and meditation, go to and finally for a bit of history and color on Chabad in Jerusalem, go to And don’t forget to have a look at as well as A little something for everyone!

The beginning of Jewish peoplehood occurred in Egypt. This is striking in the first verses of Exodus where the text lists the sons of Jacob who came to Egyptas individual families and then just a few verses later Pharaoh designates them – for the first time ever- as the nation ofIsrael. The birthing process of our people included enslavement, redemption and revelation, all which occurred disconnected from a national homeland. This lesson will explore the historical, philosophical, social, theological and moral significance of that process. Through discussion and comparative sources we will attempt to understand the implications of those particular beginnings: how they imprinted the nation ofIsrael, their consequences, the effects they had on our character, self image and destiny.

For Everyone tired of the scene, yet still looking to create a meaningful link, absolutely a unique stage being set on the web… Have You Found the world? Online online dating happens to be therefore usual that not only will be the personal stigma around finding a match online vastly reduced, is in reality get to be the norm. Today, almost 50 % of the United states public understands a few or two that has fulfilled their own spouse or lover on the web, and also the perceptions tend to be developing gradually positive. In fact, the web based online dating scene has actually surged for people under 35 – not surprisingly – but also for those in their own 40s, 50s and even very early sixties. This simply means the chances of LGBT singles discovering “the only” on the web has actually doubled in the last couple of years. Okay, which means you know the statistics. But do you know the world? One of the toughest things about LGBT internet dating sites may be discovering the right program obtainable. Like any such thing, it will help to know what you are looking for, long-lasting. But, it is not all on you. Find the wrong web site as well as your outcomes could possibly be disastrous. You’re an effective male or female looking a same-sex connection and they are checking for many everyday fun? Problem? The difficulty with many regarding the online dating programs “on the world” is the fact that, even though they might be market, catering especially to LGBT singles, there are no “barriers to entry”, as they say. Anyone can register, without any type of devotion, prerequisite or criteria. This implies, they do not rather understand what they’re searching for — and when you are doing understand that what you’re finding is a passionate partnership and perhaps even a marriage, then you’re merely wasting some time as they waste theirs. LGBT Dating and enjoy Re-imagined Truth be told: conference singles on line, whether you are straight or part of the LGBT area, feels like a truly distant experience with no connection to who you really are or what you are searching for. Dating programs and sites frequently present a platform to get in touch with matches online but they neglect to go that step further. Anyone can sign up therefore the means of producing those associations, browsing profiles and finding “compatibility” is largely your responsibility. Could get exhausting, and may start to feel useless. On regular LGBT dating sites, the strategy is generally only to get some kind of feedback from another person. Thanks to this, a stylish individual you have got the eye in may be swamped with emails from countless other people and you’re just missing in her email. In case you are a lesbian girl, or a gay man, looking for a same gender union, several websites and apps you shouldn’t filter according to inclination; even although you’ve designated your self as LGBT, you might still end up being coordinated with incompatible associates, or even the opposite gender.

I have actually reviewed the first edition when I was a senior high school pupil around 1990, as well as this book is the modified version (revised in 1998). A Brief History of Time Audiobook Free. Contrasted to the first version, there are little adjustments. Yet there is one recognizable modification in his viewpoint on the utmost concept. According to him, current findings on “dualities” appear to suggest that it would not be able to express an ultimate theory in a solitary essential development. Instead, we may have to apply various concepts to various scenarios, but in the areas which they overlap, they have to correspond. The book has a great deal of benefits. To start with, non-native English individuals including myself would certainly feel comfortable and find it very easy to read. He does not use difficult words as well as his creating design is clear. In the sense, he is far better than various other English clinical writers like R. Penrose, J. Gleick as well as I. Stewart. Second of all, the degree of the book is appropriate for basic readers as well as the complete page number is simply less than 200 pages. If they check out guide, at the very least, they would certainly have the ability to learn more concerning just how deep space started, how the stars have actually been created, and exactly how we have actually come here as the result of the evolution of deep space. More than that, guide consists of fascinating tales of some Nobel Reward victors in physics with their results related to the pointed out basic concerns. This will aid visitors understand the 20th century’s progression in physics. Thirdly, among the physicists who have actually contributed in browsing a supreme concept, the writer himself is identified. He revealed that a great void radiates light, so we can claim that a great void is not completely black. As much as the time he offered this theory, everyone believed that a great void can just absorb everything around it, but emits absolutely nothing. To find the utmost concept, we have to consolidate basic relativity as well as quantum technicians, but the two concepts are inconsistent in a lot of cases. Yet Hawking masterfully used both of them to black holes, as well as acquired the outcome. The physicist, L. Smolin regards his finding as a beginning factor towards the utmost concept. That we can review a publication where Hawking himself discusses regarding his theory for general readers is thrilling. As I discussed above, this is my second reading of guide. When I first read the book as a high school trainee, it was impressive for him to describe that at the beginning of the universe, there was a singularity where the power thickness is limitless, and so the legislation of physics including basic relativity, can not hold. But at the 2nd reading, I figured out that what Hawking truly intended to state was not that we can not know the beginning of deep space, however that we require another concept that can describe the start by taking into consideration both basic relativity as well as quantum auto mechanics. In fact, in the book, he presents his “no border” theory which explains it without the selfhood. Yet this theory has been neither verified neither negated by experiments previously. Here is my guidance for a reader. Do not assume that you need to recognize every word and sentence. Less than 200 pages, the book has a lot of points and also the writer does his best in explaining them conveniently. For instance, its description regarding the background initially of the universe to the very first living things on earth is impressive. As well as concerning time travel, its disagreements are ever clear as well as sensible for me. Yet, in a few parts, the explanations are simply sketchy, so if a reader is not currently a specialist, he can not totally recognize them. When you meet such parts, just move on. One of the most important point is to learn some points and take pleasure in the reading.I read this book with my oldest child (13 virtually 14 years old) as well as appreciated it much more than when I initially reviewed it in the 90s. Stephen Hawking is a dazzling author. His understanding of his field (academic physics) is large, deep, and also psychological. His ability to boil down complicated concepts into accessable analogies competitors Richard Rhodes (who brilliantly explains Mad Cow Disease in Deadly Feasts and the atom bomb in Atomic Bomb), whom I think about to be the most effective in course for this capability. I had no admiration for Dr. Hawkings’ skill when I first read this book – possibly due to the fact that I skimmed it. Stephen Hawking – A Brief History of Time Audio Book Download. This time about, my kid and I check out a phase a day and also discussed it, first with each other after that including my partner, the resident Huge Brain. Talk about rewarding!

Of at least 25 child refugees being held, Youssef Aden has served far longer than the average detention period. by Patrick Strickland Campaigners have called on Egypt to immediately release a 17-year-old Somali refugee who has been held for nearly six months. Youssef Mohamed Aden was arrested in Egypt on July 6, 2015. A member of a small minority clan, he had fled home after his brother was killed by al-Shabab, an armed group linked to al-Qaeda. The UN agency for children, UNICEF, has identified at least 25 children among the 50 total documented refugees currently held in Egypt. “There is a noticeable decrease in the number of children in detention at this time of the year,” Ahmad Hafez, a child protection consultant with UNICEF, told Al Jazeera, adding that the total number “reaches to more than 160 children in detention” during summer months. “Most of these minors are usually unaccompanied, coming from the Horn of Africa, while Syrian children are usually with parents.” The average detention time for a child is between two weeks and a month, Hafez said. Aden, however, has been held for nearly six months. After being picked up by Egyptian police, he was placed in the Karmooz detention centre in Alexandria, according to a new report by the Sweden-based Centre for Refugee Solidarity. With no passport or identification documents to prove his nationality, Egyptian authorities have been unable to deport him. Read further:

Hiring for promotional modeling in NYC has traditionally been a long and tedious process. After all, promotional models have the responsibility of representing a given brand at an event. If a model doesn’t know the brand or isn’t appealing to the public then the brand and any products that were presented by this model to the public may suffer. While companies must still take care when choosing a representative, the selection process has become much easier thanks to modern technology. Here’s what’s changed: Live Castings are Out In the past, a live casting was the most effective way to assess promo models. Why? Because, at the time, a live casting was the only way to see the model and hear them speak, which helped ensure that you were hiring someone who was both attractive and well-spoken to represent your products and your company. The downside of live castings was the fact that, while effective, they were also notoriously time consuming and expensive. A live casting requires a time and place to be set aside so that you can view potential candidates as well as additional travel time. Virtual Casting is In for Promotional Modeling NYC Online casting offers a new and improved way to hire promotional models for your events without the extra hassle of live casting. Here is what you need to know about the benefits of online casting: Save Money. Online casting allows you to save yourself the cost of having to rent a space to audition promotional models as all auditions have already been pre-recorded. Save Time. Selecting your promotional models online means that you don’t have to travel or set aside time for a casting. You’ll also be saving yourself the time because, unlike with a live casting, online selection also allows you to scroll through videos, fast forward, or even skip anyone who you don’t feel is a good potential candidate. Choose on Your Own Schedule. Another major benefit of online casting is the fact that you can do it any time and from anywhere. Whether you need to be home with family, or must squeeze in promo model selection during lunch, you can cast your promo models at your convenience. No Guesswork. Online casting includes video and photo options, which means that you can still see and hear potential candidates and allows you to still choose the best candidate for the job. Many event staffing agencies, including Julia Valler Staffing, currently offer online casting for their promotional models. If you’re ready for a convenient and simple way to cast promotional modeling NYC, we are here to help with your simple and convenient online casting platform.

In almost every region of the country, tiny towns and small bergs are drying up and blowing away. The lone exception? Out West. Let’s start with Hamilton, Montana. BY DAVID LYNCH Photography by Jason Savage As small towns elsewhere saw prosperity pass them by in favor of the big cities, something unusual happened in Hamilton, a rural hamlet tucked in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley: It flourished. Two local boys came home from college and launched a microbrewery that takes in more than $1 million in annual sales. Retirees arrived in droves, drawn by affordable land and recreation opportunities in the area’s snow-frosted mountains and trout-filled streams. And the federal government’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories opened a state-of-the-art biosafety facility to investigate the deadliest viral diseases, including Ebola. As US economic growth in the past decade assumed an increasingly urban character, that diverse set of strengths enabled this town to defy a pervasive narrative of rural decline. Hamilton’s population of 4,728 is up more than 10 percent since 2010, reflecting a Western renaissance that contrasts with the experience of small towns in other regions. “It’s a pretty sweet spot to be in,” said economist Ray Rasker, of Headwaters Economics in Bozeman. “You can have the same job you’d have in Seattle and go fly-fishing in the afternoon. It’s the quality of life. It attracts talent. Pretty soon, talent builds on itself, and word gets out.” PROVEN DRAW | People are more likely to move to counties with outdoor activities, according to a study by Headwaters Economics. Hamilton has parlayed distinctive attributes into population growth, including proximity to the state’s second-largest city, majestic surroundings, a good supply of college graduates, and a dependable base of federal government employment. All of that makes Hamilton representative of a little-noticed trend. Western towns with fewer than 5,000 residents grew by an average of nearly 8 percent from 2010 to 2017, according to the Census Bureau, while similar-sized communities in the Northeast and Midwest shrank. Those in the South grew barely 1 percent. “It is striking,” said Mark Muro, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “Rural towns are doing better in the West. Smaller towns are doing better in the West.” Yet Hamilton offers no obvious formula for success that could be transplanted to the half-empty rural communities that have yet to fully recover from the Great Recession. Other communities could emphasize educating their workforce. But some advantages, including a largely recession-proof federal facility and stunning natural surroundings, aren’t available everywhere. Hamilton’s endurance, instead, only highlights the challenges confronting the nation’s endangered small towns. “Most places are on the wrong side of huge global and technological trends,” said Muro, who is policy director for the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings. Hamilton got its start in the 19th century, thanks to Marcus Daly, an Irish copper baron who sought a summer home for his family and a reliable supply of lumber for his business. Today, the big sawmills are mostly gone. The picturesque Main Street, bracketed by mountain views, is lined by two-story brick retailers. Nearly all the residents are white and conservative. In surrounding Ravalli County, Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton 66 percent to 28 percent. Although some affluent retirees have arrived in recent years, this is not a wealthy rural enclave like Aspen or Jackson Hole. Hamilton’s median household income is $30,000 annually, well below the state’s $50,000 figure, though the gap is significantly narrower for married couples. Among those joining the Hamilton influx were childhood friends Fenn Nelson and Jasper Miller, both 31, who returned here to open a brewery and restaurant after graduating from the University of Montana in Missoula. With a business degree, Nelson took charge of the books, while Miller put his microbiology diploma to use keeping the brewery in working order. Employing used equipment, they leased a former natural foods emporium and converted it into Higherground Brewing. Inside the low-slung building, the decor is spare: a checkerboard tile floor, stools and a few tables. On a recent night, a dozen customers watched a college basketball game on a television above the bar. One of two breweries in town, Higherground posted $1 million in sales in its sixth year of operations and has been profitable for the past “two to three years,” Nelson said. About 40 percent of its output is sold elsewhere in the state. They had considered locations in Idaho and California, but the men said the advantages of coming home were clear. A local banker, who had known them for years, approved a $162,000 loan that got them started. Miller’s recently retired father pitched in on several projects, providing free labor that would not have been available if they had launched elsewhere. Located an hour south of Missoula, a city of roughly 75,000 with an international airport, a major state university, and a Walmart, Hamilton “is in a great Goldilocks zone,” Miller said. “It’s really accessible.” Hamilton’s relative out-performance — and that of Western towns, in general — comes amid the urbanization of American economic growth. Globalization and technology deeply eroded small towns’ traditional manufacturing role while placing a premium on the skills of the educated digerati in the nation’s largest cities. The West has navigated these shifting economic tides better than other parts of the country. Since 2010, it has been by far the fastest-growing region in the country, according to the Census Bureau, expanding output two-thirds faster than the Midwest and more than twice as fast as the Northeast. Based on measures of new business formation, migration and job churn, Western states are significantly more dynamic than those in the East, said John Lettieri, CEO of the Economic Innovation Group, a Washington think tank. “These are newer economies. They have fewer concrete cinder blocks to drag around behind them as they’re trying to grow,” he said. “There’s an unmistakable East-West divide.” In much of the country, small towns were poorly equipped to capitalize on the new economy of globalized supply chains and high-tech services jobs. But Western towns such as Hamilton were never heavily dependent upon manufacturing. Lacking big factories that could be hollowed out by competition from China or automation, they escaped the job losses that went with them. Hamilton is home to a Glaxo SmithKline plant that produces a vaccine ingredient, but the town’s manufacturing workforce as a share of total employment is one-third smaller than the national average, according to the Census Bureau. In manufacturing-dependent communities, many workers abandoned school before getting a college degree, because good-paying jobs were available without one. Hamilton’s federal lab, which employs about 450, is a continuing reminder of the value of education. The lab’s 36-acre site has its roots in the late 19th century, when lumberjacks returned from the nearby woods with an unusual illness known as “the black measles.” State officials established a modest outpost, which the federal government purchased in 1932, to investigate what was later identified as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Inside today’s facility, some of the world’s top scientists investigate nature’s toughest challenges, scrutinizing tissue samples with sophisticated electron microscopes and conducting Ebola experiments while wearing full-body biosafety suits. Among those who work here is the researcher who led development of the first Ebola vaccine, which was deployed in the West African outbreak several years ago. Cathryn Haigh, 39, a specialist in rare neurodegenerative diseases, accepted a position at the lab in 2017, moving here from Melbourne, Australia. She grows “mini-brains” from stem cells, which allows her to study maladies such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a fatal degenerative brain disorder. “I felt Melbourne was just a very anonymous city,” said Haigh, who was raised in a village of 3,000 people in Southwest England. “You were very much lost as just another random person in a crowd. One of the things I love here is the sense of community, the human connection.” People have remarked on the Bitterroot Valley’s natural beauty since 1805, when explorers Lewis and Clark passed through on their way to the Pacific Ocean. Hamilton abuts one of the largest wilderness areas in the country, home to hiking, skiing and fly-fishing, and enjoys a mild climate that has earned the valley the sobriquet “Montana’s banana belt.” The outdoors is more than a scenic backdrop — it’s a pillar of the local economy. Chuck Stranahan, a veteran fishing guide who put himself through college tying flies for a retailer, owns a fishing shop near Main Street. The former California school administrator sells hand-tied flies and charges $500 a day to guide anglers along the Bitterroot River or one of 13 nearby creeks. The recreation industry plays an outsized role in determining the fate of places like Hamilton. In recent years, the recovery of a once-endangered fish, the west slope cutthroat trout, helped spur a surge in outdoor tourism. Some who come here as tourists later stay for good. Bloom, associate director of the federal lab, says Hamilton’s surroundings make recruiting top talent easy. Nationwide, since the recession’s end, people have been more likely to move to counties with outdoor activities than those without them, according to a study by Headwaters Economics. “Recreation may make the difference between gaining or losing population, particularly in rural counties,” the study found. At city hall, Mayor Dominic Farrenkopf, 40, seeks to balance growth and Hamilton’s small town appeal. As evidence of the latter, he notes that he and his wife, Hannah, were born in the same hospital, delivered by the same obstetrician and nurse. He’s pushing the city council to approve plans to attract light industry to an economic development district near the Ravalli County Airport, while navigating anti-growth sentiments. The mayor, who moved back in 2001 after four years in the US Coast Guard, acknowledges that some of his neighbors “don’t want things to change” but says he is optimistic about striking the proper balance. “I don’t see a massive expansion of population. I see a nice steady growth,” Farrenkopf said. “I wouldn’t mind adding another 1,000 people to the city.” But some voices have been raised against unbridled growth. A few years ago, talk of a possible Walmart superstore sparked opposition from residents concerned about potential traffic and the impact on local retailers. A group of homeowners last year sued the FAA over its approval of a proposed runway extension at the airport, a case that remains on appeal. MONTANA’S BITTERROOT VALLEY | A Western renaissance has propelled the population of Hamilton by more than 10 percent over the last decade. “When you say ‘industry,’ it conjures up images of brick buildings belching black smoke out of ugly stacks — and that’s not what we’re prepared to host here,” said Chuck Stranahan. Mark Jergens, 71, who relocated to Hamilton after tiring of big cities such as Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle, says most people here “don’t want to ‘Californicate’ the place.” But gesturing at the traffic moving through town on a recent weekday, Jergens notes that the steady flow once was seen only during peak summer months. The former emergency room physician, who now advises doctors facing malpractice lawsuits, has seen one small community ruined by too much of a good thing. Years ago, he and his wife, Mimi, lived in Gig Harbor, Washington. Today, that once-quaint waterfront town northwest of Tacoma has almost tripled its 1990 size.

We are believers who believe in the Holy Trinity and live by the teachings of the Holy Bible. We are led by Doc Amey-President, Terry Melancon-VP, and Shelle Amey-Secretary/Treasurer. We believe in personal integrity which is displayed by showing respect and love to one another when no one but God is watching. We believe that respect should be given with dignity while walking in Christ’s love. Our mission is to bring hope to those who are lost and forgotten by having Christ-centered mentoring relationships between youth and young adults in tough life- situations and volunteers of Lost and Found Ministries. Our goal is to inspire breakthroughs from the way life treats abandoned children and achieve immediate, lasting change in their lives. We desire to partner with our community and Christian organizations globally to spiritually free people from the effects of imprisonment and poverty. Those partnerships with organizations will be used to restore the old waste places of our local community to be used as places where youth will be mentored and taught life-skills. We believe that transformed lives impacts the community in a positive way. We are currently in the process of implementing a program to obtain four main goals; help students to be promoted to the next grade level or graduate, stay out of the juvenile justice system, improve their mindset toward precarious behaviors, and increase their educational capability. Lost and Found Ministries stays very active in our local and surrounding communities by volunteering with other organizations, donating funds for specific needs, and hosting community outreaches. We recently hosted our 1st annual We Have Your Back backpack and school supply drive where we were able to give over 450 school-supply filled backpacks to school-age children and teens. We are preparing for our 4th annual Be The Change You Want To See Outreach where we will be giving over 200 frozen turkeys and the trimmings needed for a thanksgiving meal that these families would otherwise not receive. What we have learned through our time in ministry is that there is nothing too big for God. We see our ministry going worldwide, and we are completely submitted to doing only what the Lord leads us to carry out. Our efforts will lead people into a flourishing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Nine years ago, Chef Bart Vandaele transformed a worn down Barracks Row parking garage located next to a porn shop into the District’s original (may we say best?) Belgian restaurant. Nestled between the Marine Barracks and the Capital lies this wonder of what we would consider perfect authentic Belgian food. If living on the Hill has its perks, being in walking distance to Belga Cafe would have to be one of them. If you haven’t been to Belga Cafe, ask yourself this simple question, do you even belong in DC? Ladies, start fanning yourself, because this ‘Top Chef’ contestant is not only a walking advertisement for the country of Belgium, but we can classify him as a heartthrob. Chef Bart wants everyone to enjoy the full Belgaum experience, and who wouldn’t when this Stella Artois brand ambassador keeps your glass topped off the entire night? As for pets, why get a dog when you have a flock of chickens in your cozy Alexandria home. Did we mention he wears custom Chef Bart Nike IDs? If Chef Bart isn’t the reason to pull you into his Cap Hill gem, the food will certainly get you. For Chef Bart, all good things in life start with a “B”: Beer, Belgium, butter, bacon, B Too (his newest restaurant venture) and of course – his name. Almost everything on the menu sounds tempting. The Belgium waffle stuffed with crabmeat, served alongside mussels, green pea puree and saffron sauce, is a favorite. If you’re a mussels fan, lucky you, Belga has over 10 options, all delicious. Try the Mussels Ostendaise served with a half lobster, clams, tomatoes and lobster sauce. The fries, on the side were perfect. (Don’t call them French). Oh, you said you’re a beer fan? With a menu of over 150 different types, the world at your feet. Belga is the type of place you want to take your parents when they come and visit. It’s not just us who thinks that, our friend @hungrylobbyist might just be the biggest fan of Chef Bart, Belga AND the newest little piece of Brussels on 14th street, B Too. This week, Belga Cafe is celebrating their 9th Anniversary. Tonight’s Wine Dinner features a six course wine pairing, and the rest of the week’s festivities. HINT: For all you Hill Staffers, there’s a little thing at Belga Cafe called Mussel Tuesday where you can enjoy any mussel pot for only $15.95. If you can’t make it to Brussels this year, Belga Cafe’s warm and welcoming atmosphere is all you need. Not to mention a wheelbarrow to roll yourself out — something we can get behind!

On the other hand he has a relatively honourable tradition in terms of Wicklow planning – if that is not two oxymorons in one. On the negative side his ego was already about the size of Ireland. I suspect he will be insufferably self important.

Time doesn’t have a copyright on it so, for the third straight year, I’m ready to crown my Person of the Year. Last year, Belinda took the honour for her waltz across the floor which grabbed headlines and changed history. In 2004, I went with Ralph Klein for his re-election and interference in the federal vote. And while Stephen Harper is the obvious choice this year, I think picking the PM is a big cop out (although not as lame as picking “You”, I guess) so this year’s Calgary Grit Person of the Year is… Michael Ignatieff A year ago, Michael Ignatieff was fighting for a seat in Etobicoke Lakeshore, admit virulent criticism that he was anti-Ukrainian and supported torture. It was as messy a run for office as you’ll ever see in a safe Toronto seat (which, for the Liberals, are most Toronto seats). A year later, he came within a few gaffes of winning leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada and, despite his loss, he drove much of the political agenda in 2006 and is now Deputy Leader of the LPC. Not bad for a rookie. As the frontrunner, Ignatieff grabbed most of the headlines in the year long Liberal leadership race and, as Dion said in his acceptance speech, took the lumps because of it. Everytime he sneezed, his critics said it was proof his immune system couldn’t handle the top job and his supporters said it was a sign he wasn’t a typical politician and that the sniffles were why they loved him. His stand on Afghanistan may have been the reason Harper called a snap vote on extending the mission and he led the debate throughout the entire leadership race (often arguing both sides, as one scribe wryly commented). But despite what many Liberals say, the Liberal Party is not Canada and to be man of the year, there needs to be some meaningful and lasting contribution to the country. Ignatieff did just that during the Quebec nation fiasco this fall. While Ignatieff’s ownership of the nation motion was proportional to the motion’s popularity for much of the year, it’s hard to deny that he got the ball rolling on it. No policy this year was more controversial and none has the potential to have a larger long term impact on the very nature of our country. Those who support the motion feel it will squash separatism while those who opposed it (such as myself), feel it’s a very dangerous step towards the edge of the cliff. Time will tell, but for better or worse, Ignatieff’s role in this debate made him influential in 2006. Michael Ignatieff is not a politician but that’s what made him a gift to blogging in 2006. Big ideas, big gaffes, and a polarizing figure – the holy trinity of blog material. One presumes Iggy will continue to provide good fodder in 2007.

Your time is your most valuable resource you have. It is your own “productivity currency” of which you only have a limited supply and must ration carefully. However, sometimes we are faced with situations in which we must quite literally put a dollar amount on what our time is worth. If we always sacrifice money to save time, we’ll end up broke. If we always sacrifice time to save money, we’ll end up not accomplishing our goals. Finding the balance is key. My Dilemma This year, when I went to renew my parking pass for ASU, I was faced with two options: 1. Purchase a cheap pass for a couple hundred bucks in a remote lot and take the free tram to campus. 2. Pay an additional $600 for a pass in the lot right outside my office. My Solution? My gut reaction? Buy the expensive pass. I had the luxury of having that money in savings already, and I felt that my time was too valuable to spend sitting on a tram every day. I wanted the convenience of being able to waltz right from my car into the building at any time of day. Then I stopped to weigh the value of the pass versus the convenience of the pass in terms of “dollars per hour.” Dollars Per Hour I actually only needed the pass about three days a week. The tram takes about 15 minutes each way. I calculated that if I didn’t buy the expensive pass, I’d be saving $12.50 for every hour I spent on the tram. Now I had a decision to make: If someone approached me on the street and said, “Hey, I have a part time job for you. It only requires 90 minutes a week, and I’ll pay you $12.50 an hour. All you have to do is sit in an air conditioned space and do nothing” I’d have a hard time saying no. I ended up buying the cheap pass. I now appreciate the mandatory “break” I get in my day while being shuttled from place to place. I can even use the time to check my email or flip through the newspaper. By looking at the situation in terms of dollars per hour, I was able to weigh convenience, time, and money to come to a rational decision. How much is your time worth?

Who does not Chocolate and Oreo Cookies ?? My son loves it ...and so as me sometimes. Don't you think I can say this in a better way?....here it is.....Chocolate brings out the kid in me. :)) This sounds better.... LOL. :) From few days I had this craving in me to eat something chocolate...but was running out of ideas to try something new. Wanted to keep it simple, as this was a weekday and didn't want to end up making it and not able to eat it. It's just me that, when I crave for something, I have to eat at least a small piece and later I will not even look at it. But if I don't it keeps bugging me, until I make it. I hope I don't sound like a eating monster. I bet one who loves chocolate would understand better of what I am saying!! :)) Well ...well...lets talk about the dessert and not about me now.... I bought this pie box mix, which has it all and you just need to few ingredients or less and a hand mixer to make this ultimate dessert. Which is simply easy. I have made this same recipe from scratch, but could not wait until I took the pics. To make it from scratch, I will add a note on how to make it at home. I have made this same recipe from scratch, but could not wait until i took the pics. I know this way many of us will find this post useful to make, where you cannot get the boxed mixes. I should say that both ways (box mix and make from scratch) DOES NOT INVOLVE COOKING AT ALL. :)) I. Oreo Pie Crust: -------------------- Box Method: -------------- Oreo Pie crust mix 3 tbsp melted Butter No Box Method: ------------------ 24 Oreo Cookies 1/4 cup Melted Butter (Unsalted) Method: ---------- 1. In a blender crush the oreo cookies to a power. or use the pie crust mix if using the box mix. 2. Combine the oreo cookie powder and the melted butter. 3. Now spread it evenly in pie plate or any desired plate or cup in which you want to serve the pie. 4. Press it with any flat end of a glass or cup so that the bottom layer looks even and sticks together. 5. Keep it refrigerated until you get the filling ready. II. Dark Chocolate Filling Box Method: -------------- Filling Mix 1 can Condensed Milk 1. In a mixing bowl add the chocolate filling powder and as well as condensed milk, mix in all the ingredients until it gets thick and creamy. 2. Keep it aside, don't have to keep it in fridge. No Box Method: ------------------- 2/3 can Condensed milk 3-4 tbsp Butter 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate chips 1. In a microwave safe bowl add the condensed milk, butter and dark chocolate chips, microwave on high for about 30 secs first. 2. Stir in the chocolate chips, again microwave it for more 20 secs. mix again. 3. Microwave again for about 20 secs, until 3/4th of the chocolates melt. The time will vary for every microwave so make sure you watch while you are melting, don't over do, else the chocolate will burn. 4. Allow it to cool and it will get thicker and creamier. III Whipped Topping: ---------------------- Box Method: -------------- 1/3 cup Condensed Milk Whipping mix 1. In a large bowl add the whipping mix and the condensed milk and using a hand mixer blend it in medium speed until you get soft to stiff peaks or as desired. 2. You can refrigerate it. No Box Method: ------------------ 1/3 cup Condensed Milk 1 pkg Whipping Cream 1. In a large mixing bowl add the whipping cream and condensed milk, using a hand mixer blend it in medium to high speed until you get soft to stiff peaks or as desired. ASSEMBLE: --------------- 1. The base layer is the Oreo Pie Crust, spread a layer of the Dark Chocolate filling and top it with the Whipped Topping. You can do a single layer or layer it as you desire.

It was the saddest Christmas I had ever known. I was ten years old and had just learned that the beloved Santa Claus was not real. I don’t know if ten years old is too old or too young to learn this, but in 1977 as an only child who was overly protected by her parents, this is when my parents chose to break…

I want to thank everyone for the amazing support with the Announcement of becoming a BN SHAPE Ambassador! I really appreciate it. Side note: Yesterday I had a phone call with some of my “team” that’s helping me with my business where we discussed different options for the vision that I have for my business. Once getting off of the phone, I can sometimes feel “overwhelmed” in a good way thinking of how many things I want to do before I get where I want to be. Which lead me to post this to Facebook… I try every day to take things one step at a time – no matter how small that step may have to be. When we’re passionate about something, we wish it could happen that next day. But, in reality, things we want the most sometimes take the most time. I have faith that if I continue to pursue my dream with passion, in the end, I will eventually get there. Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of work you may have to put in to achieve a goal? You’re not alone! Alrightttt enough about meeee, time to feature YOU for “K” day from Instagram! @jenniferp1980 & her take on my socca lasagna (from my blog) with KALE added to the layers! @nancyb08 & her #powermeal with KALE added! @lifesabowl & her KIWI added to her meal today! @aprilpinkney & her “KITCHEN SINK #powerbowl! Love it! Good job ladies!! Awesome job ladies! I really enjoy seeing everyone’s posts throughout the day. So, today is “L” Day for #plantPOWER… A few weeks ago, I was in the kitchen, surprise surprise, & I took some ingredients out of the pantry and fridge to see what we had to work with. Have you ever just stared at the refrigerator as if something will just pop out at you? Yup. I do that often. It’s funny though because most of my favorite recipes just happen that way! Anyway, I pulled out lentils (protein!), Nutritional Yeast (protein, vitamins!), cooked spaghetti squash (clean carbs!), canned tomatoes (veggies!) & avocado (healthy fats!). I had all of my favorite parts to a balanced meal. No lie, I then proceeded to go get the mail & in the Ads was an amazing looking Sloppy Joe picture. We used to eat these A LOT while growing up but they were obviously made with turkey meat & on whole wheat buns (my mom is a personal trainer so we did make healthier choices- go Mom!). But, the adult version of Kasey doesn’t handle meat too well & gluten has been gone for years. I instantly ran over to the computer to find what flavors were used to make that “sloppy joe” flavor the natural way. I started writing down different combos that would work & BOOM! Lentil Sloppy Joes happened & it may not be the exact same thing as the original, but I think it’s pretty darn close! Serves 4-12 people Ingredients: 4 cups of cooked lentils (I used organic canned) 1 Small Onion 1 can of Chopped Tomatoes 1 small can of Tomato Paste 3 TB Nutritional Yeast 2 TB Smoked Paprika 1 TB Minced Garlic 1 TB Coconut Oil 1 TB Apple Cider Vinegar 1 TB Dijon Mustard 1 TB Onion Powder 2 tsp. Chili powder 1 tsp. Garlic powder a few drops of liquid stevia (optional) Sprinkle of Sea Salt & Pepper Directions: Over medium heat, add Coconut Oil, Minced Garlic, & Small Onion to the saucepan & caramelize the onion. Add in your spices – I do this first to “toast” the spices & bring out the smokey-ness Add your lentils, 1 can of tomatoes, & 1 can of tomato paste Stir until mixed thoroughly Let simmer on the stove at a low heat for about 15-20 minutes This will help it thicken & the flavors really come together! #beTRUEtoYOU & serve over your favorite foods! I served mine over spinach, spaghetti squash, & topped with some avocado slices. YUM! Don’t forget to check out Heather’s “L” post today! Have you ever tried to “re-do” one of your childhood favorites? I’d love to hear what you did! Category: Blog, plantPOWER, Recipe 8 responses to “L is for…Lentil Sloppy Joes!” Kim Perry says: February 12, 2013 at 3:47 pm I cannot WAIT to try this recipe!! MMMmmm looks sooo good!!! Reply Danielle@ Clean Food Creative Fitness says: February 12, 2013 at 4:19 pm Love this recipe Kasey! Sounds great! I definitely struggle with that overwhelming feeling from my to do list but know that eventually it will all get done and all work out as it is supposed to be! Reply Sara says: February 12, 2013 at 4:55 pm Oh my! I was planning on making lentils tonight for L day and I may just have to make ’em sloppy! I just found a recipe re-do for stuffed cabbage rolls using lentils as the filling and a fire-roasted tomato for the sauce to make them Mediterranean style… so YUM! Reply @thequarterbackk says: February 12, 2013 at 5:12 pm I am in love. I love sloppy joes!!! Best Fat Tuesday Ever!!! Reply Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says: February 12, 2013 at 5:31 pm One of my favorite healthy re-do’s is pizza! I now make my own cauliflower/nooch/egg white crust, and top it with homemade sauce and lots of fresh veggies. It’s absolutely delicious! Reply Kloe @ Running Shoes & Chocolate Mousse says: February 12, 2013 at 6:44 pm Heya Kasey, This sloppy joes recipe looks fantastic; that is such a healthy, creative spin an I cannot wait to whip up some #plantpower lovin’ in the kitchen with these! I wish I could chuck a few ingredients together effortlessly and com out with amazing meals! I love what you said about chasing your dreams too- you’re right, we set goals for ourselves that can often be the hardest to reach, but it’s also the ones were most passionate about. it’s true what they say, you get out exactly what you put in, so if you want something bad enough, and work hard to get there, there’s no reason you can’t reach the stars 🙂 Kloe x Reply sherice@foodieluvsfitness says: February 15, 2013 at 6:28 am I just found you on instagram due to a shout out from Jess over at trulyjess and then hopped over here to your blog. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I LOVE lentils! I’m a week into my no meat no dairy way of eating!

Sunday night as I awaited the Governor's words on COVID, I was overcome with waves of emotions and tons of gratitude. The past nine months have been full of love, stress, loss, respect, kindness and dignity. It has not been easy, but I am so very proud of this incredible community and how we have met the challenge head-on and continue to make a difference. The journey would not have been possible without the incredible commitment from my dedicated staff. The have ferociously sustained the highest standards for COVID safety. Continuously sanitizing, practicing social distancing, honoring the wearing of a mask and sacrificing their social and family life to maintain safety at CCC. And above all they have made it not only safe to be together, but they have made it fun, joyful and creative. They eagerly met the challenges of designing an outdoor education program that continues to teach all of us that anything is possible if you believe it to be true. I am beyond proud of them and forever grateful. I must thank all of you too. CCC would not be here today without the families who have returned their kids to our program, without the financial support of over 250 people, and without the faith of this community. We are here to stay, we will make it and we will be stronger because of this journey we made together. I have decided, after talking to almost all of our current families and our staff, to close the entire week of Thanksgiving, November 23-27. This will give my tired staff a chance to quarantine and possibly see their families next weekend, a chance to recharge, and an opportunity to release some stress and prepare for a holiday season like we have never seen before. I am eternally grateful to all of our families who unanimously supported our decision to close next week. It means so much to my staff. We wish all of you a safe holiday, a holiday that reminds us all that we have so much to be grateful for and the knowledge that together we can do anything.

But at some point, every business (and respectively, their Founder) reaches a certain stage where they should ask: “Is there more to it than profit?” Thankfully, there’s an organisation designed to answer that exact question. A few weeks ago at the end of September, I had the pleasure of attending the sold out Conscious Capitalism European Conference (CCEC) here in Berlin. Everyone from ambitious young professionals to seasoned leaders attended to share a different way to approach business. One that’s not just centred around profits, but people, planet and purpose too. One example was Whole Foods CEO John Mackey, who gave a presentation on “Leading with love”. He noted that while businesses are the best value creators in the world, they should be motivated by something higher. By channelling the tenets of Conscious Capitalism, businesses can be fuelled by a drive to give back, improve our world, and create the good. It almost sounds too good to be true. You might be wondering: Can a business have a conscious impact without sacrificing profits at all? Thanks to meeting the conference’s organisers Meike Nittel and Dr. Jan Bellermann some months ago here on LinkedIn, I think we can. When I heard about Conscious Capitalism, it resonated with me so strongly that I offered to partner with the conference organizers. We created a “Hybrid Event” which used MEETYOO’s event platform to digitise the CCEC, enabling the event’s message to spread outside the conference room and across the world very conveniently. While CCEC was an overwhelming success, this impactful event is just one of the many we’re hoping to run. Personally, I believe our digital event platform can (and should) be used to do good. We want to get our technology in the hands of people with real purpose, who can enact change. With that in mind, it’s time to take MEETYOO to the next level in becoming a more conscious company. Today I want to share how we’re making that transformation, while showing you that conscious impact doesn’t have to come at the cost of business growth. Building A Conscious World What does being a Conscious Capitalist actually mean? Businesses have immense potential for impact. Capitalism is perhaps the single biggest driver behind many of the economic, cultural and political forces shaping our world. But it goes without saying that the Capitalist force can be used for better… or for worse. Business leaders and entrepreneurs all start their journey for different reasons. But at some point, we must mature. We must evolve past profits. We must make the decision to use our impact for the better. In my view, truly successful businesses aren’t simply operating to grow. They’re conscious too. Take Whole Foods: Not only are they generating huge value as part of Amazon’s ecosystem, they ensure they’re doing good by using the Conscious Capitalism model. The best part about Conscious Capitalism? There’s no contradiction. You can still run a profitable business while being a conscious company. People, the planet and your purpose can coexist alongside profits. So how exactly does this work? Conscious Capitalism exists under four key tenets. They form the foundation of conscious companies. Tenet 1: Higher Purpose Businesses should exist beyond the profits they make. Having a higher purpose makes that possible. Conscious Capitalism starts by asking yourself: “WHY does our business exist? If we succeed, what positive impact will we create?” Knowing your purpose makes profit a means to achieving that end, rather than the end itself. At MEETYOO, our higher purpose starts with our vision and mission. Our vision is to empower global communities to share information in the most convenient way. How? We C.O.D.E: Creating Outstanding Digital Events. Beyond our vision & mission, we’re conscious about the natural resources we consume. Physical events can be costly for things such as travelling air miles; MEETYOO makes sure we’re acting responsibly by offering a digital solution that’s sustainable across the long term. Tenet 2: Stakeholder Orientation Businesses don’t just serve customers. They serve an ecosystem of stakeholders. These could be your suppliers, investors, local community, or (of course) your staff. Conscious businesses care for everyone in their ecosystem. It means that everyone in the value chain influences the decisions the company makes in some form. At MEETYOO, we’re conscious of the 3 key stakeholders that we create value for: Our clients, their event attendees, and the MEETYOO team. - Our clients want to improve their message’s reach, accessing previously unavailable markets. - Their event attendees want practical information that will support their company and careers, along with the powerful connections events typically provide. - Finally, the MEETYOO team want to be proud of the company they work for, and a product they care about building. - We take action to create value in a socially conscious way, so that all parties are not just happy, but truly fulfilled. Tenet 3: Conscious Leadership Conscious leaders realise that their business isn’t really about them, but they’re playing an important part in this global operation to create sustainable change. The leadership also ensures the company meets tenets 1 and 2: That the company stays focused on its higher purpose, and is creating value for all key stakeholders. MEETYOO might start with “me”, but it’s really about “we”. We put the team first by leading by example. The management team and I make sure to create the space for our amazing team to thrive. It means Our company couldn’t be anything without our amazing management staff and MEETYOO team. That means our leadership team must lead by example to create the space for our staff to excel. It means allowing growth through failure. It means being grateful for effort, regardless of outcome. And it means making staff feel comfortable asking tough questions, getting the feedback they dearly need and, ultimately, keep growing. Tenet 4: Conscious Culture There’s more to leading than applying strategies, tools and business methods. We can in fact be conscious, too. Making our staff feel seen and heard. Listening more than we talk. Leaving them not only with answers, but questions too. These dynamic shifts all culminate in one final tenet: Creating a conscious culture. Having all 3 previous tenets of purpose, stakeholder and leadership aligned unlocks this final piece. Conscious cultures are the heartbeat of successful businesses: they run through everything they do. For MEETYOO, our culture extends across our product, to our team and finally the impact we have. Digital events allow us to be conscious about our long term sustainability. This is powered by our team who are supported with appreciation, positivity, transparency and trust. It is this very combination that empowers us to bring global communities together, and help them share information in the most convenient way. Ultimately, it is conscious culture that creates lasting change for the better. A Commitment To Consciousness While the Conscious Capitalism conference is over, MEETYOO’s journey towards becoming conscious is just getting started. Embracing this new mode of business enables us to grow and be profitable, while engaging with our people, planet, and higher purpose. I’m incredibly excited to see how this develops! The future isn’t solely about connection, but co-creation too. We’re all stewards of the same planet, and ultimately are on this journey together.

As you may have seen in our Instagram, there are thousands of places to take pictures in Lisbon. Lisbon photography is great for any kind of photographer, doesn´t matter your style. If you are into portraits, locals are very photogenic here, if you prefer urban photography, you will have many beautiful streets to take shots of and if the viewpoints are your thing, then you will sure enjoy this city too! It´s a paradise for photography! You will go crazy trying to find them all, that´s why we have made this list of the best 11 photo spots in Lisbon. Best street photo spots in Lisbon with trams: We wanted to divide streets and trams in two different sections. We wanted to tell you, in one side the best streets to take photos of and in another side the best photo spots with trams in Lisbon, but then we thought about it, and every cool street have a tram on it in this city, so we have combined them! Here are the best streets in Lisbon with trams: The most famous tram in Lisbon in Rua da Conceicao: The most famous tram in Lisbon is number 28 and the main reason is its epic trajectory. It literally goes through all the Instagram worthy places in Lisbon. Therefore, the only reason why we are mentioning it in Rua da Conceicao is because it´s the place where we were able to capture it… lol. Anyway, let´s talk about this photo location. It´s very easy to get to Rua do Conceicao, as it is right by the cathedral, you will just have to go down through Largo Santo António de Sé. Rua da Conceicao is beautiful, just wait for the tram, take the shoot and you´ll have your Lisbon postcard! Tram in Lisbon Cathedral As the cathedral is so close, this should be the next photo spot you should visit in Lisbon. Our favourite thing of the cathedral is that there are two possible shots. You can either take it from up or down the cathedral. If you are looking from the upside, we recommend you going there for sunset time as you will have beautiful colours in the background of the building. Of course, in both cases, it will be great if you get there early in the morning, to avoid the crowds! Rua das Escolas Gerais in Alfama As you can see, Alfama district gets many of the spots in our Lisbon photography tour! We jus love this area. Rua das Escolas Gerias also offers two different photo spots! The first is the most famous one and very easy to find. Going straight from Miradouro de Santa Luzia, you will find some stairs that go down, well there it is! From the top, there´s a very nice view to Escolas Gerais, again, just for the tram. That one is great, but if you keep on walking at the end of the street, turn left and you will find our hidden gem. Colourful houses, São Vicente de Fora church in the background and the tram… the perfect shot! It´s the photo you see at the beginning of the article! Rua de Cavaleiros If you are looking for colourful streets with local vibes, then Cavaleiros is your place to be! The atmosphere is amazing and when the tram comes, it becomes one of the Lisbon most instagrammable places in Lisbon! The only problem is that you better catch it the first time… the next one won´t arrive right away! It is not very hard to find Rua de Cavaleiros. It will take you just about 7 minutes walking from Praça de Figueira. Rua de Sao Paulo Lisbon Our last street of Lisbon is from Rua de Sao Paulo. The view itself is beautiful and worth a shot, but of course with the tram, the composition gets better. You probably have seen some photos in Instagram of the pink street in Lisbon, well Rua de São Paulo is right next to it! There are many other photogenic streets, which means there are many more photo opportunities! These ones we have shown you are just a few of them that of course you should visit, but the fun part is when you find one that nobody knows about! Best photo spots with views in Lisbon: Of the many things Lisbon is famous for, the miradouros stand out! Some have a scenic view to the ocean and the bridge and others look straight to the colourful houses in Lisbon. It is hard to tell which ones our favourites are, but we are going to try. Here is a list of the best Lisbon viewpoints: Miradouro da Senhora do Monte Senhora do Monte viewpoint may not have the most famous views in Lisbon, but it is for sure one of the prettiest! If you come here hoping to get a good photo, we recommend you arriving a little before sunset time, set your tripod and wait for the colours to start popping! We would tell you how to get here, but the truth is that we are not so sure… we found this place randomly when we were trying to go back to our apartment… lol. Anyway, it is a well-known viewpoint, so you will find it easily in google maps or just asking locals. Santa Luzia viewpoint, Lisbon Santa Luzia viewpoint is probably one of the most touristic spots in the whole city. It is packed all day long, but worth visiting anyway. The views of the charming Lisbon houses and the ocean in the background are stunning! You can take some of the best Lisbon pictures here! Miradouro das Portas do Sol, Lisbon Right next to Santa Luzia, there is an even more famous viewpoint, called Miradouro das Portas do Sol. The view in our opinion is even better and perfect for a shot! If you are looking for a sunrise spot, das Portas do Sol will be perfect, plus you will have the whole place for yourself! Best landmarks photo spots in Lisbon Of course, we could not forget about the top landmarks in Lisbon! Although they are usually very crowded, if you get there on time you will be able to get some nice shots. Even if you don´t, as it happened to us in Belem tower, there are ways to get a clean shot! Here are some of the best photo locations in Lisbon: Praça do Comercio Lisbon We had never seen this place empty before, not even in a picture! That is why we though it would be impossible to get an empty shot from Commerce Square. Anyway, we decided to give it a try, we set the alarm for 6 in the morning and went straight to it… and it was empty! In despite of random people occasionally, we had the whole place just for us, for about one hour and a half! We even got an empty photo of it with a tram! At that, it becomes one of the best places to photograph in Lisbon for sure! Best photo spots in Belem Tower, Lisbon In the opposite side, we couldn´t make it early to Belem Tower (we fall sleep), so of course there were thousands of tourists. Therefore, we ha to come up with an idea to not get that many tourists in the shot. Although we couldn´t take them all out, we managed to get clean shots of it, by taking them from a low angle perspective and from the grass. Bica elevator, Lisbon We had to finish of course with the famous Bica elevator! In despite of the many tourist, coming here to take some photos is great! The down hill street with the elevator looks beautiful, but our favourite thing is how you can spot the ocean in the background of the view! We hope you have enjoyed our best Lisbon photo spots list and we wish they will be an inspiration for your next trip to Lisbon, if you have any spot in mind, that you think we should add to the list, please let us know in the comments below!

Living abroad can be one of the best experiences you can have as an adult. It provides you with many opportunities you may not have unless you decide to branch out and try something different. It’s an exciting time but many people don’t end up doing it because they let their fears get the best of them or use money as an excuse. I’m here to tell you that living abroad on a budget is possible and I’ll share my best money saving tips so that you can do it too! 11 Tips for Living Abroad on a Budget Whether you’re studying abroad or just deciding to spend a year doing a Working Holiday Visa in Australia (like I did), there are many ways you can save some cash. 1. Choose the right place Did you know that you can can live incredibly cheap in certain countries? This website is a great place to compare living expenses between your current country and the place you hope to live! If you’re from North America or many European countries, you’ll probably find that your dollar will go quite far in Asian and South American countries, opposed to living in Canada, New Zealand or Australia, for example. Once you’ve decided on a country, it’s important to keep in mind that different cities and towns could vary greatly when it comes to living expenses. If you hope to live in a more expensive country, you might want to consider your location. You could live just outside of the downtown core for a lot less than being right in the heart of the city. 2. Find the right job If you’re leaving a job behind at home and will be on the hunt for a new one, how can you make sure you make the most amount of money? I personally found the best jobs to vary depending on the country. For example, I worked short term administrative contracts with a university in Australia ($41 AUD/hr), tutored local children in English ($30 AUD/hr cash) and found other office jobs. With that being said, many restaurant/cafe jobs paid around $20 AUD/hr cash in hand. Cash jobs are great because then you don’t have to worry about tax deductions at the end of the year. While these jobs paid well in Australia, working at a bar in Asia, for example, might not pay as well. Instead, you might want to looking for English teaching jobs that pay around $20-25 USD/hr. In countries such as Vietnam, this money can go a long way! When it doubt, turn to recruiters for the best job options that match your existing skills. 3. Research food options As you can imagine, making your own food is almost always going to be the cheaper option when living in a new country! Do your research and look out for the cheapest grocery stores or markets. I was spending around $50 AUD for groceries each week while living in Australia until I realized I could get all of my fresh produce at a market for $7/8!! That took my bill down to around $30 AUD/week, saving me an extra $20 each week. 4. Avoid buying new clothes While it might not always be easy, try your best to avoid shopping. If you need new clothes, always seek out thrift stores or op shops. Not only are they a more sustainable choice BUT you’ll also save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars! 5. Getting from A to B Of course, hoping in an Uber will usually be the fastest way to get around but it will also be the fastest way to run out of money. Don’t be afraid of public transit, biking or walking to your destination. You’ll have the opportunity to see a lot more of your new city and will without a doubt end up being in the best shape of your life from running for trains or walking over 10k steps every day! 6. Get yourself a library card As Arthur once said, having fun isn’t hard if you’ve got a library card! 😉 If you’re a book worm or just simply looking to pick up a new skill, get a local library card. Usually, all you need is a lease agreement to prove you live in the area and then you can access thousands of books for free. It’s also a better option when compared to taking a bag of books everywhere you go. Instead, listen to audiobooks or read ebooks while you’re on public transit or at the beach! 7. Look up student discounts It never hurts to look for student discounts. Many places offer heavily discounted or free entry to places for students or those under 25 years old. Take advantage if you want to save some money! 8. Free events You’re not living abroad on a budget unless you’re attending free events. Stay on top of local social media accounts or go through blogs to find free events happening near you. You can also take advantage of the nature you have around you. Are there national parks or places for hiking nearby? 9. Set up new bank account When you’re living abroad, you’ll need to open a new bank account. Wiring your money from your bank account at home to your new account can be costly. If you want to avoid the fees, up your daily limit and take out the max amount of money you can from your affiliate bank abroad. This way, you won’t have to pay to take cash out. For example, I’m with Scotiabank in Canada and the affiliate bank is Westpac in Australia so I opened an account with Westpac and took money out directly with no ATM fees. Then I deposited that money directly to my new account in Australia. It took a little longer to move most of my money than other methods but I saved heaps! 10. Join gym with best promotion If you plan on joining a gym, wait until they have a good promotion. In the meantime, it doesn’t hurt to do a few trials and get some free gym time in! That way you don’t have to commit and while you’re testing out different places you’re likely to find a promotion or deal that works with your budget. 11. Get creative when it comes to drinking It’s no secret that you can waste a lot of money on alcohol. When I lived abroad, I found a few ways to avoid a massive tab at a bar or club. Pub crawls – Many pub crawls will include a few free drink tickets and women usually get in for free! Pre drinking at work events – During the time I spent living and working in Australia, a few of my workplaces had Friday socials after work where alcohol was provided. Subscription services – Subscription services such as Naked Wines have promotions or referrals where you can get a large percentage off of your first order. Doing so can land you expensive bottles of wine for $4/5 a pop and it will be delivered right to your doorstep! Where will you choose to live? Living abroad on a budget doesn’t have to be hard! You can still have an incredible time and meet amazing people along the way. The only question is, what country will you choose? I’ll be back next week with another blog but in the meantime, you can stay up to date with my adventures over on my Instagram and TikTok!

In his article “Sacred Services: How can knowledge from social science relating to the sacred inform the design of service experiences?” Ted Matthews draws a comparison between service design theory and social theories related to the sacred, in order to find points of encounter and discuss how the sacred experience can potentially enhance the service experience. The assumption that the sacred can be incorporated in the service experience is interesting in the sense that the social construction of meaning associated to the sacred allows for the generation of social scripts and norms that ultimately generate easiness in the service experience, and allow the users to experience a stronger emotional attachment. As I was reading Matthews’ article I found very interesting the comparison between the social construction of the sacred and the design of services, specially because I could related to my own experience during the Master. While working on the Service Jam for Action Aid we addressed the issue of how to provide and communicate a new experience for donors in order to keep them more engaged on the long distance adoption program. Our approach to the issue involved to borrow a new metaphor for the communication in order to add a different meaning to the whole service, looking backwards I can see how, without purposely trying to, we were designing the experience on the basis of stablished myths and rituals associated with the values we wanted to enhance. As Matthews highlights in the article, a myth is a symbolic metaphor (created by a particular community) that allow us to make tangible the abstract, for us it was the journey. A journey that we interpreted in both ways, first, a personal one for the donor, which was oriented by the discovery of a new reality and a new place; second, a community journey, oriented toward the development and the strengthen of the community being supported. Once this framework was defined building the moments of interaction that will make the experience tangible and memorable was easier, as we were following more or less the social script involved with this particular myth. Following Matthews, through rituals the myth is performed making it physical (through a sequence of activities, gestures, words and artifacts) and framing it on time. In our case the general framework of the journey help us define: a time cycle, following ritualized activities associated with tourism (sightseeing, gastronomic immersion …), concrete touchpoints (souvenirs, postcards, passport stamps), calls to action (sharing of moments trough social media), and transitions between different moments of the service (invitation to visit another country). As Matthews concluded, this association between the sacred and service design can facilitate the design process by leveraging already rooted narratives and behaviors in order to engage users with the specific values that are to be promoted for each service. it could be really interesting to see if this approach could be somehow operationalized.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton announced that its 2021 Campaign is off to a good start, but much work still needs to be done. “The Campaign for 2021 is in full swing,” said Shelley Hubal, executive director of the Federation. “Many thanks to all the community members that have already pledged. Your generosity will sustain our community for the year to come.” The pandemic has complicated fund-raising this year. Rather than gathering at the Jewish Community Center for Super Sunday, volunteers made Campaign calls from their homes. Many people have made their pledges through the Federation website and by e-mail. “Running the annual Campaign remotely has seen its challenges, but luckily there is technology that has enabled our volunteers to make calls from the safety of their home and keep the Campaign organized and moving forward,” Hubal added. “We are about halfway to our goal of $280,000,” Hubal said. “And every donation is appreciated. The need is great if we are going to keep our local organizations strong. If you have not made your pledge yet, and want to join other community members in supporting our Jewish community, please go to or mail in the coupon on page 7 today. Your pledge will help us to know how much funding we can allocate.” Hubal noted that the pandemic has been difficult for local Jewish organizations for a variety of reasons, including causing the loss of income due to cancelled programming, the need to purchase new technology, the increase of community members seeking financial aid and the decrease in advertising income. “Even with these problems, I believe in our community,” she said. “I know we are a caring community and will make it through this pandemic. Our Campaign slogan, ‘Socially Distant, Spiritually Connected,’ shows the true spirit of this community. Help us make our Campaign a success and keep our community strong.”

Individuals were invited to observe, participate and affect the process as we strived to allocate, divide and give a cultural value to the fund of £500 in this one day exhibition. Artists were invited to pitch for a hand full of the coins with propositions to realise an act independent of Deptford X. These moments are being played out in weeks following, creating their own subsequent events. The panel aimed to support proposals, discuss merits, explore parameters and award some cash. The members of the panel were in flux changing throughout the day. Along with invited artists and curators, we invited people visiting the exhibition to propose an idea, artwork or act in return for remuneration. Without You It's Nothing did not attempt to steal the moment, but to capture the performance of the pitch and to ask if that instance is enough?

Very informal. Usually about half a dozen to ten of us. All levels from beginners to several native fluent speakers, and lots in between. Just drop by and introduce yourself. 1 Like meirionwen July 12, 2016, 4:04pm #5 Hi! We have a little conversation group that meet in the cafe under the library in Great Malvern on Thursday lunchtimes from about 12.30 to about 2pm. It is a drop in group, but if you let me know your email address I will put you on the list to get info about any changes. We have a mixture of several fluent speakers and the rest of us - about a dozen in all, are learners of various abilities and a few rusty speakers who spoke Welsh as children but have lived their adult lives in England with English husbands , so haven’t spoken Welsh for a while, but it gradually comes back. In order that everyone should have a chance to speak we agree on a subject each week, so that the learners can wise up on the relevant vocab, and maybe put a few sentences together to present. All voluntary, of course, but since we started this a few weeks ago it seems to have been very popular. I email everyone on my list with the subject for the next session each week, in case you miss a session. This time of year lots of people are away on holiday, so the group size can vary. It is all very relaxed, and we have a bite to eat there. I myself will be there this week,but then away ( in Wales!) for three weeks, back on the 11th August. Croeso! Lyn/Merionwen

If you enjoy car shows and donating to good causes, then there's an event coming up this summer that you're not going to want to miss. Dewitt Field in Old Town will be the backdrop for the first-ever Wings and Wheels Car Show to benefit the Maine Veteran's Project and the Be The Match Donor Program. Get our free mobile app The show will take place Saturday June 11th. Registration will be held from 8 AM till Noon. An awards ceremony will take place later that afternoon at 3 PM. While there's no admission cost to get into the show, they are accepting donations for both causes. There is, however, a $5 fee to enter your vehicle to be shown in the show. The categories range from vehicles 1949 and older to 1980 and newer. There will be hot-rods, muscle cars, trucks, jeeps, foreign cars, and motorcycles. They're accepting anything with Wheels or Wings, essentially. There will also be a People's Choice and Best of Show Category for attendees to vote in. Event coordinators say there will be live music, food vendors, and a swap area during the car show. Smoke & Steel BBQ will have a portable ax-throwing booth at the event. Folks from the "Be The Match" donor program will be on-site doing stem-cell donor swabbing. The Wings and Wheels Car Show is sponsored by Gus's Barbershop and Luna Family Auto Sales, both long-time businesses from the Old Town area. The Maine Veterans Program even hinted this week on their Facebook Page, the possibility of both the folks from Vacationland Skydiving involved. Organizers say the expect at least a couple of hundred vehicles to take part in the show, and at least double that to attend the event.

We took a little vacation with some good friends to Aspen over the Labor Day weekend. First of all, I think it’s the first time in years that I didn’t have to check a weather app for something brewing in the tropics. Now, it’s back to the news. The change of scenery didn’t last long unfortunately. Covid. Afghanistan. Horrific crimes. That’s what I came home to and read about aloud on TV. The Washington Post has an interesting piece about Covid vaccine booster shots: “As experts debate boosters, vaccinated people are calling their own shots.” The Biden administration is pushing booster shots by September 20. Too soon? Not soon enough? The experts debate. And this… should it even be called a booster or just part of the original series? There’s a lot of confusion here. With that said, many people have already received that third shot. The so-called “immunocompromised.” That’s a vague term. Dr. Kavita Patel tells the Post, “People are doing what they want. I know patients who have gotten a booster four months after their second dose.” Turns out there is no national registry that tracks who has had and hasn’t had a Covid vaccine. Should there be? On a personal note, my cardiologist has told me to get the booster. It turns out, I’m immunocompromised. So, I did it. I got the third one. I felt like crap for three days. Still glad I did it. Back to Aspen for a minute. Besides having a great time, I saw Jimmy Buffett. I went all the way to Colorado to see a Florida musician! You know what? I loved the concert. A lot of fun. Gotta love Jimmy and his Parrot Heads. Strict Covid protocols in place at the concert, too. Proof of vaccination or a negative test result. I felt safe there. When I didn’t, I wore a mask. That’s sort of how I live my life these days. A mask is always close. That change of scenery was nice. Mountains. Cooler weather. It got me thinking. I write a lot here about bad news. Maybe it’s time for some good news. Maybe I’ll write about that. Once a week. It’s a tall order, but I’m going to try. The change of scenery did me some good. You know what though? I think I like the scenery in Florida, too. Share this: Twitter Facebook More LinkedIn Like this: Like Loading...

aspeers: Professor Davies, you are Director of the Eccles Centre for American Studies in London and currently President of the European Association for American Studies. Thank you for making time in what must be an immensely busy schedule. The current issue of aspeers features a topical section on American health. In what ways have you engaged in this particular subject? Philip John Davies: As a social scientist my main intellectual engagement with the topic of US health has recently been through observation of the battle over the Affordable Care Act. My primary research area is US election campaigns and party politics, and it has been interesting to see the development of this topic in that context. As with earlier legislation such as Medicare and Medicaid, one detects that the apparent benefits of the changes are beginning to create a popular acceptance of and investment in the new forms. Simultaneously, for some Americans—even beneficiaries of the changes—the ideological issues of ‘freedom’ and ‘choice’ dispose them to be deeply suspicious of, or even committedly antagonistic towards, the reforms. These conflicts within the electorate—even within individual members of the electorate— make it difficult to predict the course of the Affordable Care Act either as a programme or as a continuing influence on voting in the country. Since the US is likely to continue as a nation with divided party government, an issue like health care feeds well into the confrontational and combative form that politics has taken in this era of divided government. To the advocates involved it seems that this issue provides debates that lead to ‘obvious’ answers, but which in each case are based on such different assumptions that no effective or co-operative engagement is created between the combatants in the debate. As a prime example of intellectual as well as practical political gridlock in the US, health care is a disturbing harbinger of the possible road of future political competition. aspeers: You seem to be using the debate over health care reform almost as a focalizer to talk about past and future developments in the US. To what extent would you say this reform has impacted American society and politics so far? Davies: It has impacted society substantially in that about seven or eight million US residents have health insurance who would not have it without the Affordable Care Act. For some political groups in the US this does not overcome their fears that more fundamental individual rights are potentially breached by the legislation—in many ways it sharpens the division between a more service-oriented European model of social support, and a more personalised insurance-based US model. The nature of the debate is typified by highly dubious and poorly defined articulations of such concepts as ‘freedom’—which are used as though they are obvious and absolute, when in fact they have to be clearly defined to be of any use at all in a discussion that might potentially lead to compromise and co-operation. The Republicans have opened the new Congress with further draft legislation to curtail the Affordable Care Act. They are unlikely to gain enough Democrat votes in the Senate to pass these over the veto of President Obama, but even if they are stymied at this point one might expect the Republicans to use the failure of the president to co-operate in the dismemberment of his main legislative achievement as a weapon with which to berate the Democrats in the run up to the next election. aspeers: Keeping in mind your expertise in US election campaigns, how do you expect the Affordable Care Act to impact the political dynamics around the 2016 presidential election? Davies: The likelihood is that the Republican candidate in 2016 will not come from the most conservative section of the GOP, and if even more voters are feeling the benefit of the Act by 2016, it may be unwise to campaign on its demolition. Any likely Democratic candidate is going to have to deal with the Act as an election issue. Hillary Clinton is seen as a main architect of the failed Clinton Health reform package, so surely the Republicans will attack her as potentially even more of a threat to medical freedom of choice than Obama. I doubt that Elizabeth Warren will be the nominee, but as a Massachusetts liberal she would probably be even more suspect to the Republican right. In many ways, however, it is not the Republican right that any Democrat needs to be concerned about in an election—they are never going to switch votes anyway—it is the centrist voter, whether affiliated or ‘independent,’ who will decide the election, and all candidates of every political stripe will be polling these groups with great care, especially in the Electoral College’s swing states. It will be a tough campaign on every level. There is an enormous amount to play for. aspeers: What exactly do you think is at stake? Davies: Both parties have a chance of winning the presidency, though the Democrats currently seem to have a polling advantage (twenty-two months before election day). They equally have a chance of taking the Senate—despite the fact that the Republicans have done well in 2014, they present a large target in 2016 when two thirds of the senate seats, which will be up for election, are held by Republicans. The Republicans should hold the House—there is currently a built-in advantage for them coming out of the concentration of very large numbers of Democrats in a relatively small number of constituencies that cannot easily be overcome in a first-past-the-post voting system—but the Democrats could erode the Republican advantage. So, as I see it, in 2016 the Republicans could potentially make a clean sweep; or the Democrats could end up with everything but the House. If no Supreme Court Justices leave before January 2017, it is very likely that the next president will have the opportunity, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint some new Supreme Court Justices as age takes its toll on even the most energetic and intellectually engaged people. With all this at stake, recent alterations in campaign finance rules, and given that no incumbent will be running for office (so both parties will need to run a full primary season), the national election can be expected to be the most expensive one in US history. The issues will be many and various, but health care will be in there somewhere as candidates, political parties, and, perhaps most crucially, virtually unfettered interest group campaigning get under way. aspeers: Coming back to our topic American Health, the theme of the 2012 EAAS biennial conference was The Health of the Nation. Could you briefly outline for our readers how such a large body as the EAAS finds one common topic for their conferences? What were the criteria for choosing this topic for 2012? Davies: The EAAS and similar, very broad-based organisations have difficulty in establishing a conference theme that fairly allows the engagement of their broad membership at the same time as establishing a coherent theme around which conference participants can congregate. What happens often is that we search for a theme which is porous enough to allow the maximum participation. In a multinational, multidisciplinary field such as American studies this may be a particularly substantial problem of pseudo-definition. At a time of strongly contested argument within the US over the Affordable Care Act, The Health of the Nation appealed to the EAAS Board as giving a tangible and well-referenced coherence to the call for proposals, at the same time as allowing for multifaceted interpretations. I think the final programme of the conference evidenced this. Nevertheless, the demands of the large biennial conference structure indicates that however much care is put into identifying a theme, some of the membership will feel excluded by its parameters, while others will feel that generalities have taken precedence over definition. In order to avoid exclusion, the EAAS Board decided that its next conference (in Constanta, Romania 2016) should not have an overarching theme, and should instead be driven by the interests of the international population of participants from the American studies community. aspeers: Since you are an experienced editor, we are interested to know what it is that you find most rewarding about editorial work. In what ways do you think the process of editing other people’s scholarly work is important? What is its particular value concerning the development of academia? Davies: I very much enjoy the process of getting a team together, identifying themes and authors that together create a structure that is convincing to colleagues, commercial publishers, and the audience. Confrontation with the scholarship of colleagues is valuably humbling; discussion with authors about their contribution can be enlightening to editor and author; and the necessity to read with care hopefully encourages the clarity of one’s own writing. It is exciting to present opportunities for collaboration between colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Providing space to showcase new writers and early-career scholars is especially good fun. aspeers: Scholars of American studies are frequently asked what relevance the field has and why it is important. In your opinion, what is the relevance of American studies for the academic community, and why does American studies matter in wider terms? Davies: American studies is a hugely varied field, with approaches differing regionally and between and within the multiple associations in the world. It encourages its community to think without preconceptions about disciplinary approaches or borders. Intellectual tools of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences can all be applicable and valuable in American studies, and no scholar can expect to be relevant without mastering a set of tools suitable for investigation and a body of evidence to be investigated. There are few fields where so many distinct approaches can be used to test each other, co-operate with each other, as well as provide constantly invigorating and relevant responses to shifting debates. Other areas are increasingly seeing the value of cross-disciplinary intellectual endeavour. American studies has provided a context for that kind of challenge for many decades and still provides a remarkably rich foundation for any life devoted to enquiry and the tackling of problems. Our field provides a powerful model for intellectual endeavour across the board. aspeers: Professor Davies, thank you very much for your time and for sharing your thoughts with our readers.

The KVHS varsity boys finally got back on the hardwood after a rare nine day layoff. Despite showing a little rust the visiting Crusaders came away with the 90-73 win over a Saint John Greyhounds team. As was expected the Crusaders were a little too anxious to start the game which resulted in some sloppy play on both offense and defense. Luckily for KVHS, the home team couldn’t convert some early opportunities in transition. Once the Crusaders were able to settle in on offense, however, they were set their full court defense to convert Saint John High turnovers into some easy baskets. The Crusaders won the first quarter 26-10. In the 2nd quarter the Greyhound fond their rhythm on offense, taking it hard at the Crusaders second unit. The ‘Hounds also started finding success pounding the offensive glass for several easy put back lay ups. The home team won the 2nd quarter 25-23 to cut the KVHS led to 49-35 at the half. The 2nd half was much the same as the first 20 minutes. The Crusaders starting unit were able to push the lead out to 71-48 by winning the 3rd quarter 22-13 but the ‘Hounds responded in the 4th quarter, tieing the Crusaders at 22 all over the final 10 minutes. All 11 Crusaders who dressed for the game played at lease 12 minutes and hit the score sheet. The leaders for the Crusaders were: Cole Defazio with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals Adam Butler with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 9 steals Jack Way with 11 points The leaders for Saint John were: Nate Jenson with 23 points Keynan Harvey with 19 points The Crusaders improve to 2-0 in Southern Conference play and 5-3 overall. What’s Next The Crusaders return to action on Wednesday when they visit cross town rival Rothesay High School. Both teams are currently undefeated in league play. This will be the first meeting of the two teams on the young season. Game time is 7:15 pm at Rothesay High.

The adoption of technology is moving fast; but despite contact-free and mobile-first technologies dominating hotel tech trends, it’s often the same objection from hoteliers - ‘It’s just not for us’. But there shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to implementing new technology. In fact, some hotels are using contactless in ways that even suppliers haven’t considered. ​ This 30-minute masterclass explores the different types of innovation being seen in hotel F&B technology. Join Jane Pendlebury, HOSPA CEO and Dominic Child, Bizzon’s VP of Sales as they discuss the ways in which technology can support a hotel’s operations as well as the many ways tech can aid the industry’s recovery.

This design for the wayfinding system for the Borough of Norristown is rooted in it’s historic identity presented in a fresh new way. What is particularly successful about this approach, is that it is a solution that belongs only to Norristown. The combination of the original Fervet Opus/Beehive symbol expressed with updated formal and graphic elements provide the visual structure for this system. This project was designed by Kent Design as a subcontractor to Seiler + Drury Architects, Norristown PA.

The design of the Bruno accent tables is based around the playful idea of the lacquered leg going through the table top, creating the illusion of trespassing it. The contrast between the black coloured leg and black metallic frame with the oak veneer accentuates the intended visual game even further and makes every Bruno an object that requires a second look from the observer, whom is certain to be pulled towards such a bold design statement. When combined side by side, the coffee and side tables can be placed in different positions in tandem with each other. Geometric forms then start to appear and bring out yet another fascinating element of this collection
